A minor off topic observation. Wondering who translated the word Al Qaida for the govt. IMO, Al Qaida, if that is the way it is spelt, means the preferred way of doing things, kind of like "The Rules", pretty close to the word Qanoon which stands for the Law. Qaida and Qanoon is a phrase where these words are often used together. As far as I understand Arabic, it does not mean "The Base". If its spelt and pronounced "Al Qeida", well then I dunno. Never heard that word in Arabic, but i wouldn't be surprised if it did exist. HG@PickedUpSomeArabicInDubai.com
